Health Insurance For Mail handlers

The Mail Handlers Benefit Plan (MHBP) is a health insurance plan for the employees of the federal, postal and annuitants across the nation. The MHBP has the sponsorship of National Postal Mail Handlers Union and is in the business for more than 45 years. The plan provides comprehensive benefits to the employees at reasonably priced rates. Health plans and programs for mail handlers are available with different options.

Health Plans and Programs for Mail Handlers

The different plans and programs available for mail handlers include the following:

MHBP and Medicare

As the benefits available under Medicare are not enough to cover all the health care needs as well as expenses, MHBP has its own Standard Option to complement the holders who have, for their primary coverage, bought Medicare Parts A and B. The option provides great savings which is comprehensive and provides good coordination of the different benefits. The rates offered by the standard option are quite affordable and the benefits are valuable.

MHBP Prescription Coverage

The prescription coverage of MHBP for the federal as well as postal employees along with annuitants provides the following benefits:

Accessing pharmacies in the network across the nation.

Get benefits in case of mail-order pharmacy by saving money as there is a 90 day supply of all the maintenance medication.
